Description
The trip gets off to a relaxing start with 6 nights in a comfortable private chalet with a stunning view of the Alps, close to famous climbs including Alpe d’Huez and Col du Glandon. This trip has a focus on riding the famous climbs of the Alps and the Pyrenees, plus also the challenge of Mont Ventoux in Provence.
